How to Use Warmer Weather as Motivation to Move More

There’s something about spring in Manitoba that just feels like a fresh start. The snow is melting (mostly 😅), the sun is sticking around longer, and there’s a renewed energy in the air. It’s the perfect time to get out of hibernation mode and spring into action—literally.

Whether you’ve been crushing your workouts all winter or you’re just starting to find your rhythm again, spring gives us the opportunity to reset, refresh, and re-engage with movement in new ways.

Why Spring Is the Best Time to Reignite Your Fitness

After months of indoor workouts and bundled-up walks, those longer, warmer days invite us to get outside and move. Studies show that outdoor activity not only boosts your physical health, but also improves mood, increases motivation, and reduces stress. Plus, when the sidewalks are clear and the scenery’s looking less snow-covered, it’s just more fun to move.

Family Fitness = More Fun

Spring is also a great time to make movement a family affair. It doesn’t need to be structured—spontaneous games of tag, family hikes, bike rides, or even backyard obstacle courses can get everyone’s heart rates up and create memories while you’re at it.

Looking for something more consistent? Join us for one of our upcoming community events or challenges! There’s always something happening at Grit Force Fitness to help keep you accountable, inspired, and moving.

Need Inspiration? Try This:

🌼 Spring Activity Scavenger Hunt
Create a list of 10–15 things to find or do outside (like: jump over a puddle, spot a robin, do 5 squats at a bench). Turn it into a game for the kids—or yourself!

🌼 Move Every Hour Rule
Set a timer on your phone and do 20 squats or a brisk 2-minute walk every hour. Small bouts of movement add up!

🌼 Outdoor Power Walk & Talk
Grab a friend, a podcast, or some music, and commit to a 30-minute walk three times this week.

Let’s Make Movement a Habit This Spring

You don’t have to overhaul your entire routine—just start with one or two small changes. Add a walk after dinner. Get a quick strength session done outside. Take the kids to the park and do some lunges while they play.

The more consistent you are now, the more energy, strength, and confidence you’ll carry into summer.

Let’s get outside. Let’s get stronger. Let’s spring into action. 🌞
